Allyn Miner studied under Thakur Sri Raj Bhan Singh in Varanasi from 1971 to 1982. Thakur Raj Bhan Singh, originally of Allahabad, studied with his father and from Pandit Ramchandra Mavlankar of Gwalior and Allahabad. Allyn became a student of Ustad Ali Akbar Khansahab in 1985. She became his formal disciple in 1990.Samir Chatterjee began his studies with Pandit Bankim Ghosh, Pandit Balaram Mukherjee, Pandit Rathin Dhar and Mohammad Salim. He was later guided by Pandit Amalesh Chatterjee (since 1966) and Pandit Shyamal Bose (since 1984). All of Samir's teachers have been from the Farrukhabad Gharana of tabla. playing, which he now represents. CommentsI wish to acknowledge my teachers for the love and trust they have invested in me over the decades. Any part of this performance that expresses beauty, skill or musicality is due entirely to their teaching.My years in Banaras were formative in ways that are beyond expression. The lessons I learned there will be with me for the rest of my life. Later I followed a long-standing dream when I approached Ustad Ali Akbar Khansahab for instruction. The direct access to his genius has been the greatest thrill of my musical life.This recording was a long time in coming. Many live concerts were recorded but not released. Two studio recordings from the 1990s were distributed only to friends, although one piece is to be found on the CD Rainbow (Neelam).

Tom used minimal effects in making the master, took out one or two technical glitches, and here it is. A recording is a product of its time. I am in a mellow musical phase, exploring nuances more than speed, and expression more than technicalities. I hope this recording conveys some of the delicate aspects of sitar music which 1 like best.I have been playing with Samir for several years now and have enjoyed a delightfully collaborative relationship. His accompaniment has goaded me to be more playful and inventive, but never complacent. He sets a wonderful example of discipline and dedication, tempered by warmth and empathy. I love his playing and love to play with him.Virama, repose or rest, stillness or silence, is used in both music and yoga.Allyn Miner Philadelphia, August 2004 Raga Patdip (tracks 1-3)S g m P N S, S N D P m g R SI learned Patdip from my first Guru, Sri Raj Bhan Singh, as it is traditionally played - mainly in the upper register in a lively tempo. Later under Ustad Ali Akbar Khansahab, I learned the expanded version, where it is given the full treatment including alap and the slow gat. The raga has a serious but lively character. Perhaps it's the tension of the N contrasting the mellowness of g and m that allows ...
